basis as COUNTY deducts administrative costs from interest or income earned on
other moneys invested by the County Treasurer. If County Treasurer, at the
recommendation of the RAN BOARD, elects to invest, deposit or otherwise handle
money in the SYSTEM COSTS or OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue funds
separately from moneys in other investment pools in the County Treasury, COUNTY
shall deduct any additional administrative costs attributable to such separate
investment, deposit or handling of the moneys from the interest or income earned on
said moneys, pursuant to Government Code Section 27013.
c) The primary purpose of the SYSTEM shall be to serve all law enforcement agencies
in COUNTY.
d) Additional law enforcement agencies may be added as users to SYSTEM and USERS
may be removed from SYSTEM as conditions warrant.

on the percentage of the total population of all USER entities residing in each USER
entity on January 31 of each year, as indicated in the latest edition of "Population
Estimates for California Cities and Counties" prepared by the State of California
Department of Finance California Demographic Research Unit. The estimate of
COUNTY'S proportional share will be calculated based on the percentage of the total
population of all USER entities residing in unincorporated areas of Orange County on
January 31 of each year. In the event the California Demographic Research unit no
longer issues demographic data, the RAN BOARD shall determine the source of the
population data to be used in doing the above-described calculations.
(1) COUNTY will issue monthly invoices to each USER for one -twelfth of the
estimate of its annual proportional share of SYSTEM COSTS and OPERATIONAL
COSTS.
(2) USERS will pay the estimate of their annual proportional shares of SYSTEM
COSTS and OPERATIONAL COSTS on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days of
receipt of invoices from the COUNTY.
(3) COUNTY will credit all payments received from USERS for their proportional
shares of SYSTEM COSTS to the SYSTEM COSTS special revenue fund and all
payments received from USERS for their proportional shares of OPERATIONAL
COSTS to the OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue fund.
b) SHORTFALL IN OPERATIONAL COSTS. In the event anticipated
OPERATIONAL COSTS exceed in any fiscal year the sum of the estimates of
USERS' proportional shares of OPERATIONAL COSTS and any other moneys
appropriated to the OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue fund, the RAN BOARD
will calculate each USER'S proportional share of said shortfall using the methodology
described in Section V. a) of this Agreement. COUNTY will issue an additional
invoice to each USER for its proportional share of said shortfall. Each USER shall
pay said invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. COUNTY shall credit all payments

governing bodies of a majority of the other USERS approve, the RAN BOARD shall
not recommend expenditure of, and COUNTY shall not expend, in any fiscal year,
moneys for SYSTEM COSTS in excess of the sum of
(1) the total funds available in the SYSTEM COSTS special revenue fund at the
beginning of the fiscal year,
(2) the total revenue anticipated for SYSTEM COSTS as a result of State and
Federal subventions and
(3) the total payments anticipated to be received from USERS for their estimated
proportional shares of SYSTEM COSTS in that fiscal year (hereinafter called
"EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS").
If COUNTY's Board of Supervisors and a majority of the governing bodies of the
other USERS approve, the RAN BOARD may recommend
expenditure of, and COUNTY may expend or encumber, EXCESS SYSTEM
COSTS. The RAN BOARD shall calculate each USER's proportional
share of EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS using the methodology described in Section
V. a) of this Agreement. COUNTY will issue an additional invoice to each
USER for its proportional share of EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS. Each USER
shall pay said invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. COUNTY shall credit all
funds received from USERS in payment of said invoices to the SYSTEM COSTS
special revenue fund.
d) NEW USER ASSESSMENTS. In addition to the foregoing costs, any new USER
desiring to execute this Agreement in order to become a member of the SYSTEM
shall be assessed and shall pay in full an amount to offset previously -incurred
SYSTEM COSTS that were borne by existing USERS. The amount of said
7

AGENDA ITEM July 2, 1996
TO: George Scarborough, City Manager
FROM: Lt. Paul Sullivan, Chief of Police Services
SUBJECT: Agreement with County of Orange for Provision of User's Agreement in Cal -ID
system.
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve 10 year agreement for provision of user's agreement in the Cal -ID System with
the County of Orange.
SITUATION:
The Cal -ID user agreement under which the Orange County Cal -ID System operates is set to expire
on June 30, 1996. Cal -ID has been operating in Orange County since February of 1987. Cal -ID is
an automated fingerprint system that stores and searches fingerprints of identified suspects. The
Orange County Cal -ID RAN Board (Remote Access Network) was established by Penal Code
Section 11112.4. The RAN Board is composed of seven members, one member of the Board of
Supervisors, the Chief of Police with the largest sworn staff, Sheriff Brad Gates, Chairman, member
of the League of Cities , The District Attorney , representative of the Orange County Chiefs of
Police/Sheriff Association and a member -at -large elected by the other members.
Cal -ID has two main functions, criminal identification and latent fingerprint search and
identification. With this system criminals are identified and their fingerprints stored. Whenever a
criminal is booked their prints are compared with existing data in the system and verification is
immediate. Hundreds of thousands of man hours needed to compare prints of arrestees has been
eliminated. Yearly 40,000 individuals are identified by the Cal -ID system. The second function of
the system is latent fingerprint comparison. Prints located at crime scenes are entered into the
system and compared with known criminals. Presently there are 800,000 known criminals in the
system for print comparison. Prior to Cal -ID investigators had to suspect an individual and then
have their prints compared. Again, thousands of man hours of print comparison have been
eliminated. Additionally, the chances of suspect identification have been increased greatly. The
success rate of finding suspects through Cal -ID is approximately 16% to 20%. The Department of
Justice reports latent print search conducted by hand clears only 8% of cases.
The acquisition of the Cal -ID equipment was a cooperative purchase with the State Department of
Justice. DOJ paid approximately 70% of the cost, and the local costs were funded by a Certificate
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGEN D/ IV
of Participation. The RAN Board chose to expand from the original design and purchase additional
equipment. In addition to the initial 30% matching funds, the County and local agencies were jointly
responsible for conversion of fingerprint cards to the automated format, building a central site
computer room for the Cal -ID database and communication costs between local terminals and the
central site. The Sheriff's Department was chosen to be the central site.
The monthly cost of the equipment and operational costs were defrayed through payments made by
all participating cities and the county. This agreement between all the cities with the county stated
that charges would be based upon their proportional use of the system. Additionally, a future
equipment replacement fund was established at $250,000 a year, and an enhancement fund
(essentially to purchase equipment for expansion of the data base) at $80,000 a year.
In 1988 the County was successful in writing and lobbying legislation which authorized the
statewide establishment of a penalty assessment for the operation of the Cal -ID program. This
generated as much as one million dollars in a single year. This money was to cover all operational
costs and supplement reserve funds. RAN Board action, based upon these new revenues, declared
that since April, 1989, neither the County or the Cities have been required to contribute to the
operation of the Cal -ID system.
In 1991, however, the state legislature changed the penalty assessment policy and limited the amount
of money the county could retain from the assessments to $7.00 per $10.00 of assessed fines. The
county had been collecting about $7.80. This action forced the county to scale back on the amount
of money contributed to Cal -ID by about 10%. Additionally, there has been a general decrease in
the fine money assessed in the County. Several reasons have been suggested including; decreased
enforcement of traffic laws, fewer fines collected and fewer traffic laws violated. The County
declared bankruptcy which resulted in a $60,000 loss to the Cal -ID fund. This Cumulative effect
has led to our current situation. The Ran Board must again consider charging the County and Cities
for system operation as provided for in the original agreement.
A cost breakdown for each city is enclosed for the fiscal year 1996/97 operating budget. The
projected revenue shortfall is $140,000. San Juan Capistrano's share of this is $1,540.00. Staff
believes the charges are equitable and recommends Council approval of this agreement.
COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Not Applicable
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Under the new agreement the cost to San Juan Capistrano for the fiscal year of 1996/97 would be
$1,540. These costs are included in the proposed budget.
